This is the right place for Ren'Py help. Please ask one question per thread, use a descriptive subject like 'NotFound error in option.rpy' , and include all the relevant information - especially any relevant code and traceback messages. Use the code tag to format scripts.
Pause(): is not a pause like other two. It is a Transition: an effect applied to scene change. This one just shows new screen for some time. Not terribly useful by itself, but can be handi in case of sequencing several scene changes in a row.
pause: can be used directly in RenPy script. Easy to use.
renpy.pause(): a Python function. can be used where pause cannot and cannot be used where pause can. Allows for some additional functionality like hard pauses
